    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

    A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.

    I was hired after a 8-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
